== 37+ Playable Heroes & Unlockable skins ==Master heroes across a variety of themes and playstyles. Make unforgettable plays as a high-damage carry. Attack from the shadows as a menacing jungler. Soak up damage and save your friends as a front-line captain. However you like to play, Vainglory has unique, captivating heroes you’ll love — along with a hunt for skins you can earn through play without spending any money.

== Touch Controls & E.V.I.L Engine Designed for Mobile ==Designed exclusively for mobile, Vainglory’s game engine is made for jaw-dropping teamfight battles running as high as 120 frames per second.

And because everything is just a tap, you’ll attack, move and use spellbinding hero abilities with ease.
